As for my career change, it took a lot to do. not physically but emotionally. for several months, even maybe a year, I was doing a lot of praying and thinking about my career. I felt like i was in a rut and i was miserable everyday coming to work. the minute i would start work i would start counting down the hours till i went to lunch and then the hours until i could go home. it was a lonely miserable process. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely looooovvvveee the people i worked with but the actual job was making me miserable, and i think it showed no matter how hard i tried to put on a happy face and do my job the best i could. but the truth of the matter was i had to get out. and i think it was for the best. It was a huge weight off my shoulders. And really i think i did the right thing. its funny, but as soon as I left the bank, they started to get much busier inside the branch and especially in the drive thru. In some way it was almost like God was assuring me that i did the right thing by leaving because it had been super slow when i worked there.
As for my new job, I went back to Starbucks inside of Bashas shopping center. I had worked there previously and had left late 2009 because of my paticular store closing in dove mountain. The one i work in now is in catalina and its super busy which i love! my manager is someone i previously worked with (and i had actually trained) and i love working with him. He is a blast and a half. So laid back and jokes around with me so it kinda feels like he isn't my boss, which i love. When I first started i was kinda on edge cause i thought i would get in trouble for messing up or a least a frowny face telling me what i should have done better and how to fix it. But he doesn't yell at me at all. He just says, "oh don't worry about it, it happens." and in some way that helps me learn faster and better. it's a huge relief. and such a great environment. the hours are only part time for now, but i'm trusting God and I know he will help me out, and who knows, I might just get a promotion one of these days. you never know. I guess you'll find out. SUSPENSE!!! another great thing about my boss is, he is a christian and its so cool to be able to talk about God with Him and what we both are going through. I really feel like God has blessed me so much with this. a lot of people which include my old customers and even some of my friends question me as to why I left a good career and more pay to work a grocery store. But you know what? I feel like its to work a place where you love with less pay, than to work in a place you don't like with more money. also it allows me to trust and depend on God so much more in my life. I am also more free to talk to people about God, as i have more interaction with people now. But please pray that i'll be able to be bold and witness to people even if its not how i expect it to be. God is good.
